Setting an intention for 2023 of Gratitude
A quick note to say ‘THANK YOU’ for being here, I am so grateful for you.
My intention this year is to work on GRATITUDE. I realised I haven’t been very grateful this year as I sat meditating on my intentions for the year ahead.
I complain way too much for my own liking. It is a problem for many of us that we are not grateful. If we spend out time only focusing on our own problems and not think about the suffering or happiness of others, we are in a state of imbalance. It is also a fine line to walk between making a good life for ourselves and doing too much for others.
Being a spiritual, energetic coach you would think I have this down pat. So What is it holding me back? Keeping me stuck? What do I need to let go of in order to move forward? First I ask myself, what is it I want?
I want to feel “Freedom, Peace and Love”. These things lift my spirits. So everything that is not bringing me this is making me cranky. My crankiness is A SIGN – I need to work on myself. There is some thing I need to let go of.
I need to let go of the attachment to my guilt, to my responsibility for others’ health and happiness, then clinging to my own disappointment and resentment when I don’t get what I need. What have I been gaining from holding onto these things?
That I am important? That life is meaningful when I am helping others?
In setting an intention to bring in GRATITUDE, I know that more good things will come my way. That’s how energy works, what you focus on, you attract. To feel gratitude for what I want, like I have it already.
Retrospectively, it has been a hard year for many of us doing this deep, soul healing work, but necessary to go through these dark times. Finding our way back to the light, to shed what is holding us back, no matter how much we are attached to it and don’t want to change, is for our own growth, our own peace and happiness. LET GO. Even if it’s just for a moment, What does it feel like to let the thing go?
In letting go of my guilt, my disappointment and resentment, I feel freedom, peace and love again.
So what is it you want more of this year? Set your intention.
Peace and Love, Toni xx
